Probability of Detection Calculations Using MATLAB

Abstract

A set of highly efficient computer programs based on the Marcum and Swerling's analysis on radar detection has been written in MATLAB to evaluate the probability of detection. The programs are based on accurate methods unlike the detectability method which is based on approximation. This thesis also outlines radar detection theory and target models as a background. The goal of this effort is to provide a set of efficient computer programs for student usage and teacher's aid. Programs are designed to be user friendly and run on personal computers
